EV CHARGING POINT INSTALLED AT BUXA!

Buxa EV Charing Point

More and more of our visitors have told us they would like to bring their electric car with them to Orkney but they suffer 'range anxiety' with fears they are going to run out of battery before they get to a charger. Even though Orkney leads the way in electric chargers per capita of population, our visitors have said they would like the ability to leave their EV on charge overnight at Buxa. Guests just don't want to spend their holiday time sitting in a supermarket car park charging their vehicle. After months and months of research and work we are proud to say that we now have a two-point EV charger installed at Buxa for the convenience of our guests. It is untethered so you will need to bring your own charging cable. Electricity, as you well know, is very expensive right now, so there is a charge for the use of the EV charger. We are hoping the convenience of on-site charging more than makes up for that. Happy travels!

What better way to enjoy your holiday at Buxa than in a relaxing hot tub enjoying the views!

Buxa Hot Tub

You can hire an Orkney Hot Tub for the week and have it delivered and returned to and from your chalet for only £250 for the week plus £60 for extra electricity/water. Contact us for more details!

The croft house is situated on 20 acres of waterfront property that is under the Rural Stewardship scheme to preserve bird life. A children’s playpark adjacent to the croft house provides hours of play for young ones. A dedicated walk with gates at top and bottom has been developed giving easy access to the shore without having to climb over barbed wire. Secure storage for bicycles and camping and fishing gear.
